iconic hotel The Timberline Lodge – the hotel used as the exterior
setting of the infamous Overlook Hotel in Stanley Kubrick’s masterpiece

The annual four-day celebration is created by veteran festival organizers Michael Lerman and Landon Zakheim,
both sharing a passion and a vision for providing a rare experience for
fans to not just watch the latest work from emerging genre filmmakers
but to also connect with each other in order to foster a creative and
engaging community. The duo plan to bring their signature events to the
festival, including a full weekend long immersive game from interactive
company Bottleneck Immersive and an original live version of radio play
“Tales From Beyond The Pale” by Glass Eye Pix.

"We're incredibly excited to bring the film community and enthusiastic
audiences we've been cultivating over the last few years to The Overlook
Film Festival" said festival co-director Landon Zakheim. "We're so
grateful to the Timberline Lodge for providing such a gorgeous iconic
venue in the beautiful location of Mt. Hood, Oregon where our unique,
experiential celebration of all things genre can thrive."

"It's a truly inspiring time for horror cinema," said festival
co-director Michael Lerman. "Our jam-packed program of festival
favorites, fresh discoveries and bonafide classics from features to
shorts to live events will be presented in the one-of-a-kind atmosphere
we've built through our various other genre projects. We really can't
wait to announce our lineup next year."
